Mainstreaming Porn
Author Talk with Elaine Craig
Thursday, September 12
6:30pm – 8:00pm

Whitehorse Public Library
WPL Whole Room
How porn became social media, why algorithms are shaping our sexual culture in harmful ways, and what the law can do about it.

Elaine Craig is professor of law, Dalhousie University, and the author of Putting Trials on Trial: Sexual Assault and the Failure of the Legal Profession and Troubling Sex: Towards a Legal Theory of Sexual Integrity (McGill-Queen’s University Press).

In this talk, Elaine will be promoting her most recent book, Mainstreaming Porn: Sexual Integrity and the Law, also published by McGill-Queen’s University Press, which launches in September.

From the publisher:
“The ubiquity of streaming sites such as Pornhub has transformed the social role of sexually explicit content today. Online porn is no longer a shady corner of the internet; it is mainstream. Its production, commodification, and consumption on data-driven online platforms has changed – and is changing – our personal relationships, social and legal systems, and sexual norms.”

Due to the nature of the topic, this program is for audience members 18 years and older.

AGE GROUP: | Adults |
